Yes, while Crow suns himself in Egypt, anyone who has to cross London to get to or from a New Year’s Party is out of luck. You might be able to use a train, and there are always buses, but the strike goes on.
I’m pretty reasonable about strikes. If I think the union’s have a cause, then, yes, they have the right to strike. But deliberately targeting vast swathes of Londoners on one of our holidays is mean spirited in the extreme. I want to hear Crow’s explanation.
Read more on Going Underground, and be sure to read some of the comments which lead to blogs from London Underground employees who are pretty pissed at Crow’s actions too.
And I bet Nat West are pretty pleased. It’s completely kiboshed their sponsorship of free travel today.
